(CNN) — Even though Rep. Ron Paul has never officially ended his long shot presidential bid, he’s ready to weigh in on the three remaining major candidates for the White House.
In an interview on The Situation Room, Paul told Wolf Blitzer that endorsing Sen. John McCain, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, “would really confuse” his supporters “because they know we have a precise program and we have to defend that program.”
Having a Republican win the upcoming presidential election is “secondary” for Paul who is more interested in defending the Constitution, having the country go in what he considers the right direction, having a sound currency, and achieving balanced budgets. Paul parts ways with McCain over McCain’s support for the Iraq war, his approach to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and his willingness to spend federal dollars to support military operations in Iraq.
Instead, Paul favors Sen. Barack Obama because of positions on foreign policy. “But that’s doesn’t mean that’s an endorsement,” Paul quickly added.

Why isn't Ron Paul the nominee? He seems to have many of the traditional values of the Conservative Republicans.
Ron Paul is not the nominee because not enough republicans voted for him. I can not believe that Hucklebee did better then Paul. I like some of Paul's Ideas. I think the biggest issue was that he is against the War. Sometimes, most of the time, Honest doesn't work in the Old Washington Ways. You have to lie and cheat to be noticed. So old so old. I think if he had been the nominee that it would be a closer General Election. The way it is with McCain or McSame I think in November you will have a Democrat in the White House.

I like many of Ron Paul's policies and some I don't. The thing about Ron Paul is that he wants change in the Republican party. I wish we had more maverick politicians like Ron Paul in both parties. Then and only then will we have change in Washington DC.
You are so right that in Washington DC you have to lie and cheat to get noticed, not only that but you have to do this just to get your foot in the door as witnessed by the 3 we are left with now. So sad!

Note that Ron Paul said that having a republican win the white house was 'secondary'......that is a true public servant, not this 'unify for the sake of the party' crap the gop and dnc have been shoving down our threats for decades.

I for one hope he DOES NOT endorse McCain. Our current mode of electioneering is to try to convict your opponent by pointing to outrageousness of some of his/her supporters.
Given some of the racist positions taken by Cong. Paul, Senator McCain does not need this baggage.

So instead the USA Citizens get the same old Washington. At least Paul and Obama are speaking out on this issue.

Yeah, it would be troublesome for McCain to have an honest person who speaks his mind support him. It would confuse his supporters into thinking he is flip flopping on his pandering, lying, manipulative, double talk express. Lets hope for McCain's sake that only the regular old DC yes-men support him so people will not be confused.

As much as you'd like to blame Paul for his name appearing on a racist article, he's not a racist.
